I have a good spring fed creek I'd like to rig up an irrigation pump for a garden. One area would be close to the creek, so lift would be 10-15 feet and close to creek. We're not planning on a huge garden, about 40 ft X 80 ft would be fine.
Another area available would be uphill a ways, so lift 100 feet and would need 500 feet of hose. Same size area.
I see solar pumps which I'm sure would work near creek and Harbor Freight has a gasoline pump that should work for uphill.
I'm guessing in dry weather watering twice a week for and hour would be fine?
Any experience is appreciated. I'm hoping to not spend a fortune (maybe around $300-$400?). Thanks!
